Answer
This appliance is equipped with a safety system. The appliance does not
work if the blender jar with lid, the chopper bowl with lid (HR2168 only)
or the mill beaker (HR2168, HR2167, HR2161 only) are not assembled
correctly on the motor unit or are not assembled at all. Check if you
have assembled the blender jar with lid, the chopper bowl with lid or the
mill beaker correctly (see the various sections in this user manual). Set
the control knob to 0 first.
Yes, except the motor unit and the coupling unit of the chopper
(HR2168 only).
When you turn the control knob to the pulse setting, the appliance runs
at its highest speed as long as you keep the knob in this position. Use the
pulse setting if you want to have more control over the processing jobs.
No, let hot liquids cool down to 80°C/175°F to avoid damage to the jar.
HR2171 only: You can pour hot ingredients (up to 100°C/ 212°F) in the
jar. Only touch the jar handle. The lid, bottom and outer surface of the jar
are hot.
It is common for a new appliance to give off an unpleasant smell or emit
some smoke the first few times it is used. This phenomenon stops after
you have used the appliance a number of times. The appliance may also
give off an unpleasant smell or emit some smoke if it has been used too
long. In this case, set the control knob to 0 and let the appliance cool
down for 60 minutes.
Set the control knob to 0 and use a spatula to dislodge the ingredients
that block the blade unit. We also advise you to process a smaller
quantity.
To prevent pulp and skins from ending up in your drink, make sure that
the filter (HR2168, HR2167 only) is placed properly in the jar, the lid
is closed and the measuring cup is inserted in the lid.
Set the control knob to 0 and pour out the ingredients. Make sure that
the sealing ring is properly in place on the blade unit. Also make sure
that the blade unit is assembled correctly.
